A Home From Home

There is no better place for sleeping than in one's own bed. Therefore it is advised for most travellers to stay where they are.

Our guesthouse, which came into being from the "Seamen's Mission," is not the usual kind of hotel. Comprising only six rooms in an old canal house, it is almost like a large apartment dwelling. It includes a day room with sitting area and a galley (no stove) for quick self-service.

Employees quickly get to know the guests and answer questions and requests with pleasure.

Merry Christmas everywhere!

The Stichting Deutsches Seemannsheim and the staff of the Deutsche Seemannsmission Amsterdam wish all people a Merry Christmas:

And the angel spoke to them: Fear not! behold, I proclaim unto you great joy which shall befall all the people;For to you is born this day the Saviour, who is Christ the LORD in the city of David. And this is a sign: you will find the child wrapped in diapers and lying in a manger.The Bible - Luke 2:10-12

We look forward to welcoming you to our guesthouse in 2019.

Arrived! Congratulations!

Michael Thiedmann was born in Lichtenfels and grew up on the Upper Main. After his confirmation, Thiedmann spent ten years in the evangelical work with children and young people. This gave rise to the desire to become a pastor. At first his way to Amsterdam led him to volunteer at the German Seamen's Mission. He then studied religious education and church education in Nuremberg. After two years he studied theology in Berlin, Munich and Neuendettelsau.21.09.2018 Read full article on np-coburg.de

A new face in the guest house team news

Every year in September our team changes. Then a new volunteer starts his ministry - to return to Germany after 12 months of many new experiences and begin his studies. We are grateful that every year a young person is willing to cooperate with us.

Marvin-Noah Wilkes has just finished his first weeks with us. He will be present at the reception of the guesthouse as well as on board the ships.

Floral greetings on board

What can a single flower effect in a man? Much, as we have observed once again. As last year, before Easter, we brought a touch of the spring on board of the oil tankers. The sailors, no matter what nation, rejoiced every time. A kind of color between all the gray, steel walls, placed directly next to the TV, in the cargo control room or on the window sill.

Happy people alone because of a small flower in a pot. And that is why we decided to bring the spring on board next year again
